The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper lie
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY.sEvEN YEARS Gifts existence In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of tho history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is always
welcomed in the household while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
Invaluable
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
10 the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well as
from every part of the habitable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature will,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of hesitate, is pub
lished regularly, and all events of interest
occurring within the bounds Of the Com
monwealth are to he found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzErrE's circulation is steadily in
creasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country edi-
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three tines
a week, and is read by thousands, most Of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, ap-
parent.

EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS.
While the Senate was in executive ses-
sion to-day it is understood that some
very interesting communications touching
executive appointments were INDUCED in.
A reconsideration of the vote by which
Supt. Peck was rejected was had two or
three days ago, and l am now informed
that his friends have given up the contest.
There Is some speculation as to who will
be the permanent Superintendent, but
can give no definite information.
1t is understood here that L. 5. Newman
and Director hlarcum would take the
place The present incumbent would ac-
cept, but has not asked for it.
A gentleman Just arrived brings the
information that Councilman Robertson,
of Wheeling, is the coming man, and will

but after the rejection of so many they
were led to the belief that there was
something in the rumOr, especially since
Robertson made the Capital City visit
last week.
The Minear Investigating Committee

Young and Senator Harrison were exam

Their testimony, however, amounted to

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Secretary Nose

sion, to-day received petition from the
New York Central Railroad Company, by
Chauncey NJ Depew; the Lake Shore and
Michigan and Southern Railway, by John
Newell; and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
Railroad Company, by John Newell
1t requests that an order be made per
mittiug the above named roads and the
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Rail

Erie and Western Railroad Company, TO
make such passenger and freight charges
and rates from. points upon the lines

named that they be relieved from the

Up to this time forty-four railroad COM

Lohsngrin Withdrawn to Check Hostile DsmOnstra-

Death Of Novelist James Grant
General Foreign Dispatches.

PARIS, May 6-This city has been very
much excited by the events on the from
tier.
The Schnaebeles incident, about which
30 much has been said is only q small feat
ure i'll the history of irritating troubles
arong the border.
Some Of the most conservative of the
English newspapers are beginning to think
that the tension of feeling between France
and Germany has become 50 great that
actual hostilities may ensue during the
summer. Although the French officials
and their newspapers have been very mod.
crate IN tone, yet the people have been very
much excited and are not showing The
same self-control.
1t is now proposed in certain French
circles to proceed against the German resi-
belcs affair. Ii the German courts should
continue the trial against Schnaebeles and
render judgment against him in con
tumacy, il is probable that the case against
d'Eyrolia, the clerk who was recently dis
missed from the French War Office for
furnishing information to the German
Government would be reopened and that
he would be prosecuted for treason.
The irritability of the French people
has been especially shown on the occasion
of the production of Wagner's opera
"Lohcngrin, when the audiences were
booted and peltcd by the lower classes;
and the anti-German demonstrations the
past few days have caused a feeling
of alarm in official circles The Gov
ernment hal nj first forbidden the
production of this opera pending the set
tlement of the Scknaebeles affair. and only
gave reluctant consent after the latter
had been released. The objection on the
part of the authorities 10 the production of
the opera has not been 80 much on account
of its authorship, but rather for the oppor-
tunity which 1t afforded la the mob for
anti. German demonstrations. la an inter
view last night Premier Goblet told NJ.
tinue ''Lohengrin" the Government would
afford Inn every protection. The Premier
urged him, however, To withdraw the
opera, promising that means would be
adopted 10 enable him Ia recover any loSs.
lie then warmly thanked NJ. LamoureauN
for his sacrifice in the interests of peace
and quiet.
